and many more.

Meds don’t often work for people because they are not treating the root cause of IBD, which by the way can be different for people! For me, I had several factors that contributed to my IBD, it was mostly poor diet and antibiotic overuse related. If you want to treat the root causes, look at your diet to see if it’s causing the inflammation (grains & sugar). If you’ve had a lot of antibiotics you’ll want to load up on probiotics. Then you’ll want treatments like Glutamine to heal your intestines.

If a doctor is giving up on you because you are too difficult to treat, don’t listen to them. Your body is doing what it needs to do. I have found success not fighting my disease, but listening to it. What does it tell me? It tells me I need to be my own best friend. I need to sleep early and well. I need to eat anti-inflammatory foods. I need to relax, meditate and have fun to keep stress low. Listening to my gut has been the best doctor I ever had.
